INTRODUCTION

Each year accidents at work cause unnecessary human misery and billions of dollars in needless
business expenses. Accidents are caused by unsafe work behavior, which is often
unintentional—unsafe work behavior frequently results from a simple lack of awareness. This Safety
Report will help improve workers’ safety awareness and safety behavior on the job.

People engage in unsafe behavior at work for many reasons. The more they persist in this behavior,
the more likely on-the-job accidents become. Hogan has studied safe (and unsafe) work behavior since
the early 1970s. Research shows that unsafe work behavior falls into six relatively distinct categories;
research also shows that the behavior in all six of these categories can be predicted.

We cannot predict the occurrence of specific accidents because, from a statistical perspective, serious
accidents are relatively rare. We can only predict the possibility that people will engage in certain
behaviors which, if they persist, will make accidents likely.

Some people with average or high scores on this Safety Report will have had accidents—because bad
things sometimes happen to good people. Similarly, many people with low or unsafe scores on this
Safety Report will be accident free; nonetheless, they will be at risk for unsafe behavior that could lead
to accidents—and the lower their scores, the greater the risk.

It is important to note that people in sales and management will tend to receive lower scores on this
Safety Report because success in their jobs requires disciplined risk taking, bending the rules, and
multi-tasking—all of which produce lower scores on most of the safety scales.

In short, the scores on this report do not predict a person’s accident or safety record; rather, they
suggest where a person needs to focus attention in order to be or to remain safe.

The report is organized in four sections as follows:

Section I: The first section defines the six components of safety-related behavior
and then provides a graphic summary of the candidate’s assessment
results across those six components.

Section II: The second section is an optional reporting feature that can be selected
by the user. It provides an overall safety score for the candidate, based on
the graphic summary from Section I.

Section III: The third section is an optional reporting feature that can be selected by
the user. It provides information regarding development areas for persons
with moderate to critical scores on the safety-related components.

Section IV: The fourth section is an optional reporting feature that can be selected by
the user. It concerns the candidates’ overall desirability as an employee,
which is defined in terms of three broad components of performance. The
report then provides a graphic summary of the candidate’s overall
desirability. This section is often useful because a person may be a safe
worker but a bad fit for some jobs. For example, many safe workers are
unable or unwilling to provide good customer service.

SECTION I – THE COMPONENTS OF SAFETY-RELATED BEHAVIOR

Defiant - Compliant: This component concerns a person’s willingness to follow rules. Low scorers
may ignore rules; high scorers follow them effortlessly.

Panicky - Strong: This component concerns handling stress. Low scorers are stress prone, may
panic under pressure and make mistakes; high scorers typically remain steady.

Irritable - Poised: This component concerns anger management. Low scorers may lose their
temper easily and make mistakes; high scorers control their temper.

Distractible - Vigilant: This component concerns focus. Low scorers tend to be easily distracted and
may make mistakes; high scorers remain focused.

Reckless - Cautious: This component concerns risk-taking. Low scorers tend to take unnecessary
risks; high scorers avoid risky actions.

Arrogant - Trainable: This component concerns trainability. Low scorers tend to ignore training and
feedback; high scorers pay attention to training.

Scores are in terms of percentiles: for example, a score of 85% means that a person's score is above 85% of
people assessed.

SECTION III – DEVELOPMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS BY SAFETY COMPONENT

The following presents the candidate’s scores on the safety dimensions where a moderate or critical
challenge exists. The percentages below represent the percent of items endorsed for each dimension.
Dimensions with a (R) are reverse weighted so that higher percentages reflect lower scores.

SAFETY COMPONENT DEFINITION PERCENT ENDORSED

VIGILANT
Unfocused (R) Easily Distracted 100%
Curiosity (R) Inquisitive and Distractible 100%
Creative (R) Bright and Imaginative 100%
CAUTIOUS
Bold (R) Fearless 100%
Unfocused (R) Easily Distracted 100%
Adventurous (R) Needs Stimulation 100%
